Hall of Union, Imperial hall in Forbidden City, China
The Hall of Union stands between the Palace of Heavenly Purity and Palace of Earthly Tranquility, featuring a square design with a pyramidal roof.
The structure, built during the Ming Dynasty from 1522 to 1566, underwent restorations in 1655 and 1669, following damage from a fire in 1797.
Twenty-five imperial jade seals stored in the hall required specific permission from the empress, representing the authority of the Qing Dynasty.
The hall contains a bronze water clock from 1745 and a mechanical clock from 1798, both functioning as time measurement devices for palace activities.
The empress conducted celebrations during Qianqiu Festival in this hall, receiving formal greetings from high-ranked court ladies of the imperial household.
